Happy Halloween
Last year, our neighbor invited us his house. He made lanterns. He said this kind of pumpkin was not for food. I think lanterns was threw away in the USA now.

By the way, this year almost has been finished. I am depressed about something. Now, the stock market is crashing. The Yen is strong. Prices are going up. So it is difficult to raise kids in Japan.
Ten years ago, I was not worried about anything. Every time I was happy. I get older and older, my worry is increasing.

Those lanterns are called "Halloween pumpkins" or "Jack o' Lanterns" in the U.S.
Google "Jack o' Lantern stories" and you will see folk tales or stories about good and evil. Mostly, Jack is a thief who is tricked by the devil and has no place to be for all time. Very sad.
The pumpkins for jack o' lanterns have thin fruit and they are grown especially for Halloween. They are easy to carve.
We eat other pumpkins and squashes.
